No Gap joint replacement program at St Stephen's

ST STEPHEN’S Hospital General Manager Peter Wood announced a new program designed to benefit Medibank customers living in the Wide Bay region. 

The Medibank No Gap joint replacement program aims to provide patients with timely access to essential joint replacement surgeries close to their homes.

Mr Wood emphasised the significance of this initiative by stating, “The Medibank No Gap joint replacement program aims to provide our patients with access to necessary surgeries close to home and with minimal wait times. This is an exciting development because it addresses a critical need for timely and accessible medical care in our community.”

The program is expected to significantly reduce the financial burden on patients undergoing joint replacement surgery. 

By eliminating out-of-pocket expenses, patients can focus on their recovery without the added worry of additional costs. 

Mr Wood added, “This initiative allows patients to focus on their recovery without the added concern of additional costs. We are committed to helping our patients return to their daily activities as soon as possible.”

The Medibank No Gap joint replacement program is part of a broader effort to enhance healthcare accessibility and affordability. 

St Stephen’s Hospital is working closely with Medibank to ensure the program’s success and to provide the best possible care for their patients. 

This collaboration aims to streamline the surgical process, reduce waiting times, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

In addition to financial relief, the program offers several benefits, including the convenience of receiving high-quality medical care within the local region. 

Patients no longer need to travel long distances to access specialised surgical procedures, which can be particularly challenging for those with limited mobility or other health concerns.

St Stephen’s Hospital is dedicated to continuously improving healthcare services for the community. 

The Medibank No Gap joint replacement program is a testament to this commitment, providing patients with the support and care they need during a critical time in their lives.
